my kids have horrible messy rooms, they like it, so i just shut the door and ignore it best i can
if they want laundry doing, they have to put it in the machine

This is pretty much the same for me. My room is very messy right now, (I've bough too much crap over the last few weeks:o) and my parents just ignore it. Apart from when the bowls start disappearing.

Stop acting like her sister and start acting like her mother !

I live with my partner and his youngest and she was doing exactly the same, with regard to the stealing I just never left my handbag lying about and what I mean by that is it was locked in the car or if I brought it into the house I would have no money in my purse. I just didn't have money on me. She wasn't aware of this, I just removed the temptation. I did ask her in a nice way several times when money had gone from my purse, but she just denied it and I couldn't prove it. The only time I saw her look guilty was when she went to her gran for money to get her hair done, spent it and then asked her dad for money to get her hair done (not realising that gran had told dad she had paid for her hair so not to worry about it) she claimed it had gone missing from her room. There were only the 3 of us living in the house so I said to her, what your saying is that I've stolen your money, she looked really shocked, "no, no that wasn't what I'm saying", "well it must be if its gone missing from your room", the tactic quickly changed to she maybe lost it on the 100 yard walk between her Grans and ours???!!! Teenagers what would you do with them!!

I think you need to sit down and agree some ground rules with her, such as no naughty business in the house, no smoking in the house and no going into your room. Did she know you would object to her boyfriend slleping with her in your house?
